65: Chapter 64 Meeting
As the saying goes, Dharma, companions, wealth, and land are all forms of assistance.
Adhering to the principle of using what is available, Li Fan called upon Nangong Miao, who was in the Dao Entrance Realm.
Although he didn't know what level a Dao Entrance Realm Cultivator held in the Xuannü Civilization.
As long as she could secretly take care of Qin, that was all that mattered.
Consequently, Li Fan entrusted Chang Yufei to Wen Xinran for temporary care.
He boarded a flying shuttle and headed to United Pharmaceutical.
Inside the chairman's office.
Wen Xinmei hadn't had time to miss Li Fan these past few days.
Because she had been working continuously for four days without a single moment of rest.
For a Golden Core Cultivator, this was no problem, but the Foundation Establishment female Cultivator nearby was clearly struggling to hold on.
Fortunately, someone finally came to disturb them at this moment.
Wen Xinmei looked up and immediately stopped what she was doing.
"Sister Miao, why are you here?"
She took Nangong Miao's hand, and they sat down on the reception sofa together.
Nangong Miao looked at her worn-out appearance from the past few days, placed her palm on the back of Wen Xinmei's hand, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"How are you getting along with Li Fan?"
In Wen Xinmei's understanding, although Nangong Miao was at the Nascent Soul cultivation level.
The various great families she faced at United Pharmaceutical also possessed combat power at the Nascent Soul level.
Her friendship with Nangong Miao wasn't deep; it relied entirely on Li Fan to maintain the connection.
Therefore, she didn't want to drag Nangong Miao into the troubles of United Pharmaceutical for no reason.
With this in mind, Wen Xinmei began to talk about her recent experiences with Li Fan.
Shortly after, Nangong Miao smiled slightly.
"Husband has a laid-back personality; you just have to force him."
"When things actually come to a head, I've never seen him refuse..."
Wen Xinmei felt the same way and giggled, asking Nangong Miao to teach her some more wonderful techniques.
Nangong Miao smiled knowingly... and signaled for her to lean in.
At this moment, Li Fan also rushed over.
As soon as he entered the office, he saw Nangong Miao whispering something to Wen Xinmei.
Seeing Wen Xinmei blushing and nodding repeatedly.
Li Fan realized something was wrong, immediately stepped forward to sit between the two, and separated them.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
He glanced at Nangong Miao.
"Is this what I asked you to come here for?"
Then he glanced at Wen Xinmei.
"Did you come to United Pharmaceutical to learn this?"
After speaking, he raised his hand.
He was about to reach out and knock on their heads, just as he did with Wen Xinran.
Unexpectedly, both women turned their heads to look at him simultaneously and spoke in unison.
"You dare..."
One in the Dao Entrance Realm, one at the Golden Core level; he was no match for either of them at the moment.
So, Li Fan lowered his raised hands and instead wrapped them around their waists.
He rubbed them a few times, looking slightly awkward.
He muttered to himself inwardly.
"Just wait until my cultivation level goes up; you'll get what's coming to you."
At this moment, the Foundation Establishment female Cultivator hurried over, likely to report some news.
Seeing Li Fan with his arms around both of them, she paused for a moment.
But she quickly regained her composure and spoke seriously.
"Chief Wen, just received news."
"The decision-making meeting will be held this afternoon."
After she finished, Li Fan felt Wen Xinmei's body tense up in his arms and knew this meeting was extraordinary.
He immediately asked the Foundation Establishment female Cultivator to explain in detail.
The decision-making meeting was the highest-level meeting of Xuannü United Pharmaceutical.
A total of seven chiefs from the Medical Center and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Center would be in attendance.
The meeting would coordinate daily operations, business, management, and strategic planning.
A meeting of such high level was naturally not one that just anyone could attend.
Usually, only the chiefs, their corresponding chief secretaries, and the official regulators from the Xuannü side were allowed to attend.
So Li Fan placed his out-of-place thermos on the conference round table and cast a lingering gaze at the people taking their seats.
It seemed he wanted to discern from their expressions and demeanor whether they were friend or foe.
That's right, the meeting had officially begun.
But before long, Li Fan gave up and decided to slack off.
These Cultivators, sent by the great families behind them to attend as representatives.
Were all old foxes who had been deep in the business world for a long time; how could Li Fan easily see anything from them?
Listening to their carefully deliberated remarks.
Li Fan just felt a headache; it wasn't that he couldn't understand the nuances in their words.
It was just that he believed pondering these verbal battles was a complete waste of life, so he naturally resisted it immensely.
Consequently, the other chief secretaries present were nervously recording information.
While Li Fan had secretly opened his terminal and was surfing the internet.
"Recently, many official wounded have been admitted."
"There is an urgent need for Medicinal Pills that can replenish Spiritual Essence."
The person speaking was at the Nascent Soul cultivation level and was in charge of two branches under the Medical Center.
He looked up at the chairman of the Refining Management Department, waiting for an answer.
The other party tapped his fingertips on the table and spoke in a crisp tone.
"There are no such Medicinal Pills."
Then he turned his gaze to the chairman of the R&D Management Department; the meaning was clear: get the Pill Formula from him first.
Seeing the ball being kicked so quickly.
Li Fan also snapped out of his terminal; the fun on the spot was better to watch.
According to his Xuannü science knowledge, this Spiritual Essence was not some kind of Spiritual Qi, but the foundation that determined the grade of a Spiritual Root.
To put it plainly, the difference between a top-grade and a Low Grade Spiritual Root lay in the amount of Spiritual Essence.
If there really were Medicinal Pills that could repair Spiritual Essence, wouldn't improving one's Aptitude just be a matter of popping pills?
Thinking of this, he rested his chin on one hand.
He wanted to see if this newly broken-through Qin could produce a Pill Formula.
Who knew that Qin seemed to have been prepared for a long time and spoke unhurriedly.
"The Pill Formula, naturally, exists..."
After a slight pause, he changed the subject.
"However, a few of the medicinal ingredients are extremely scarce."
"Whether they can be gathered, I do not know."
After saying that, his gloomy gaze fell on Wen Xinmei; there was no trace of his former kindness.
Seeing this person stop even pretending after breaking through to the Nascent Soul level, Li Fan also realized something was wrong.
From the Medical Center throwing out a request, to the Refining Management Department being helpless and passing it to the R&D Management Department, and finally falling onto the Procurement Management Department.
This process of shirking responsibility was truly smooth and flowing.
The scene instantly fell into silence, everyone waiting to see how Wen Xinmei would respond.
She raised her hand to take the list of medicinal ingredients; every scarce main ingredient marked on it was precisely in the procurement blind spot of the Procurement Management Department.
With the channels and resources she had just taken over, it was impossible to gather them.
And the chairman of the Medical Center did not give Wen Xinmei time to consider.
"The authorities are watching this batch of wounded very closely."
"The attitude is also very firm; they must be cured."
Hearing this, the chief of the Refining Management Department chimed in.
"If Chief Wen cannot handle it for the time being,"
"Why not ask Chief Qin? He happened to be in charge of procurement before; perhaps he has other channels."
At this moment, the chairman of the Medical Center spoke again, pointing directly at Wen Xinmei.
"At most three days, I need to give the authorities an answer."
"If Chief Wen cannot provide the medicinal ingredients, I will explain to the authorities and have someone else take over this matter."
After speaking, he swept his gaze across the Xuannü official inspectors and recorders present and stopped talking.
And all the pressure fell onto Wen Xinmei.
